Currently, the issue of the quality of professional education and compliance of the competencies of university graduates with the requirements of professional community is acute. New technologies require new approaches to the educational process and teaching methods . The development of humanitarian training in technical universities was initiated by economic considerations related to transformations in the economy and the restructuring of higher education. However, the high efficiency of such educational programs is now confirmed if they combine special competencies and knowledge of the characteristics of a specific industry, which becomes a competitive advantage of graduates in the labor market. A good example confirming this approach is the training of bachelors in the field of Advertising and Public Relations in technical universities.
